The Olympics Thread (No Conspiracies)

Okay. I'm fully aware that this is a Conspiracies site, but I am getting kinda of bored of the reptilian illuminati we are all going to die 2012
Olympics masonic secret signs paranoia threads and just want to have a thread dedicated to the sports.

The men and women who are going to perform to be some of the best athletes in the history of the human race that will hopefully obliterate records and
the push the barriers of what is humanly possible with just training and determination. So just wanted to make a thread to see what events people will
be watching the most.

Personally im obviously going to watch the mens 100m I reckon this is the year that Bolt could be beaten by his team mate Blake who is also incredibly
fast, and also the only white man to run 100m in under 10 seconds will also be running. He will probably loose but it will be great to see the times
at the end. Any one a sprinter hear? what sort of time do you do?

Other events I'm looking forward to are Judo, Wrestling, Boxing and Football, England have already won a game in the Women's, England men are
playing tonight against Angola should be a walk in the park shame im gonna be out.

So what's people general view of it? you guy's gonna be watching or not? excited or you trying to actively avoid it?

It's Great Britain, not England. Don't want to go upsetting any of the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish involved.

I always enjoy the athletics and the swimming. The cycling is also good, because GB are the best at it. The football will be good this year, boxings
always good and the martial arts, apart from that many of the sports are pretty boring. Oh yeah the beach Volley ball is going to be great this year
with it's location and other more obvious reasons.

Should be some good football on tonight, the ceremony i couldn't care about to be honest, i think i'll be at the pub instead of watching it, but
looking forward to the track and field. The short distance running in particular, the football obviously (being a brit myself) and boxing are always
my favourates. But for GB i think our best performances will be the sailing and the swimming.

yeah Micheal Phelps is unreal, and Mo Farah was a good race the man is quick. all the bolt races are good, but even in the 100M sprint it seams like
about 30/20M to the end he slows down. i wanted him to break the WR

Brownlee brothers = simply amazing. To run the 10km part of the Triathlon only 83 seconds slower than Mo Farah managed in the stadium is just slightly
unreal. I mean, c'mon! They had already done the swimming and cycling then too.

In fairness, everyone at these Olympics is super fit. Even the useless African rower! (my favourite type of Olympian).

The Brownlees are something else though. Love Dave Brailsford (UK cycling supremo) telling French journalists that UK cycling success is down to
"extra round wheels" and them falling for it hook line and sinker!
